The German city of Bielefeld has a history dating back to 1214 when it was founded by Count Hermann IV of Ravensberg. It was not until 1851 with the opening of a spinning mill that the town began to grow and function as an industrial area. Today it has approximately 327,000 inhabitants. Of those, many are students who attend Bielefeld University, the photography school, or the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences.
The 13th-century Sparrenburg Castle is a major attraction of Bielefeld. It is also the backdrop for the Sparrenburgfest where the city's medieval past is relived complete with jousting, jesters, magicians and storytellers and, of course, plenty of that famous German beer. Wine is another drink that is celebrated by transforming the old town into a wine village once a year. Being one of Germany's twenty largest cities, Bielefeld certainly does as much as Berlin or Munich to promote its culture and indigenous flora. Huge bunches of the Alpine Rose, Aster or Snowbell together with every other colourful bloom will always be on display at festivals.
A flower delivery to Bielefeld is a gift that reflects the city's zest for life. Your friends and family are sure to appreciate such a meaningful gift.

I find that it is rare for a song to haunt you for days on end. But after just one listen, Zinnia's new single 'Bullets' was stuck with me, its beauty, power and pain ringing in my ears without mercy.
Zinnia is the art pop project of Toronto based artist Rachael Cardiello, who has soaked this track with the emotion of personal experience, weariness in the face of adversity, and just a hint of eternal hope.
It's a mixture which left me blown away. She's managed to find a perfect balance in the instrumentation and lyrics which reflect each other as they flow from moments of intimacy to soaring, desperate choruses.
'Bullets' is a song which feels like a lifetime in the making for Cardiello. Every moment of horror, inequality, frustration and despair has been gathered, processed and released in a cathartic six minute epic.
You might come away from that six minutes hurting, or with renewed determination to make the world a better place, but one thing is for sure: you will definitely come away stunned by the beauty Zinnia had created.
You can listen to 'Bullets' below.


One more makes four....hmmm, let's make that FIVE!!!: I could have SOOOOO written this, and really wish I had!!!!
I could have SOOOOO written this, and really wish I had!!!!
Man I wish I could take credit for writing this article...I can't TELL you how many times I've heard this....and I'm going to say it now...THE DESIRE TO ADOPT AGAIN HAS NOT LEFT MY HEART....SO THERE!!!
"how sweet, your family is complete"
Like we'd already surpassed the social norm so there just was NO WAY we'd ever do THIS again!!! CRAZY!
I know it wasn't ment in harm...but..just read - she says it so well!!!
These types of statements used to make me feel like I had to explain our decisions or they used to make me feel like I needed to be a better parent because maybe if they saw that I was the best parent in the universe, they would think that I could "handle" more kids.
I have tried (in vain) to explain to people that we are adopting children WHO DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY, kids who NEED A HOME, but this does not seem to matter to those who continue to make this statement after or before each addition we have made to our growing family. I know that some of it has been said by those who are concerned because they do not want to see us overwhelmed or having a harder life than we could have if we chose the easier path, but this is the path we have chosen, and all we need need is support.
Recently, a family member said to me again, "you have enough kids" and for the first time, instead of feeling like I needed to justify our decisions and make excuses and explanations, I felt angry. I thought about all the other times that people have said to me similar things and I realized that many of those things were said before the addition of some of our kids, kids who those same people now love and adore. Kids who now have a home and a family. Kids who are no longer orphans. Kids who I could not be more proud to call my children. Kids who have made our lives richer, not harder. Kids who have taught me more than I have taught them. Kids who have given me more than I have given them. Kids who we would not know had we thought of our family in terms of "enough." And, I was angry.
I have listened to well-meaning friends or family members over the years say things that have hurt, badly, and for the most part, I have remained silent. Some people said this when we only had two kids or three or four, if four was "enough kids," then what does that say about the last three?
Another reason it has me so upset is that we are talking about human beings here, precious children, not possessions. To say that one can ever have "enough" children sort of sounds like they are shoes or something.
Another is that I have never seen how it is deemed okay for people to question our personal decisions and give unsolicited advise and judgments, but it is not okay for us to do the same to them. What I mean is that when it comes to things that go against the norm, things like adoption, having a large family, and homeschooling, it seems that everyone and their neighbour thinks it's somehow acceptable to tell us what a terrible thing we are doing.
Can you imagine how inappropriate it would be for me to say to a friend that I thought it was a selfish decision to go back to work full time when their baby was 4 months old because they wanted to pay for a nicer vacation or to say to a family member that it sickens me to think of all the starving children who could be fed for the cost of one of the brand new vehicles they buy for themselves every year? People judge it wrong that we went into debt to pay for an adoption of two children, but think nothing of going into debt themselves for a newer car, a bigger house, or even the latest computers, gadgets, and fashions!
I do not walk around telling people that they should not move because the house they have is "enough" or that they should not get another TV because the two they already own are "enough" or that they should not buy the latest iPhone because they just bought the last version and that should be "enough." And, if you are shaking your head thinking, "yeah, but those are things, not children" then you are starting to get the point here! It is actually pretty uninformed to say "you have enough kids" as though they were objects. If there were ever anything I would want "too many" of, it would be children. Children are a blessing.
In response to the inevitable question, "are we going to adopt more kids?", the answer is this: I don't know. If you look only at logic, then the answer is…probably not. Logic dictates that seven children is nowadays, in North America, a huge family. Logic dictates that seven children is a huge expense. Logic dictates that I have a husband who is much more rational than I am and is less apt to make decisions based purely on emotion. Logic dictates a lot, but it does not dictate the size of our family. For now, we are done. That could mean forever. Or it could mean that tomorrow we will start the process for another adoption. Because God trumps all logic in my mind and in my heart. Our family size will be determined by God. He has called us to adopt, and I know that He is still working in our family.
Please support and love us where we are at, on the path that we have chosen. Pray for us, because the path that we have chosen is not an easy one. We know that you did not choose this path and we are not asking you to adopt yourself or have a large family yourself. We are not even asking you to understand or like the path we have chosen. If you choose to come and visit us on this journey once in awhile and ask how we are or offer your help, we would appreciate it greatly, but if you can only offer judgment and harsh words, please heed the wise advise of Thumper in "Bambi"…"if you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all"!

Economics of Education, Income Distribution
Greed and Price-Gouging
Categories: Economics of Education Income Distribution
Robert M. Dunn complains,
The disparities in college endowments are enormous. As of mid 2004, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton had average endowments of $14.9 billion, while three private institutions of similar size, George Washington University, Georgetown, and American University, averaged $543 million. That is a ratio of 27:1–about the same difference in income between a successful investment banker and a Wal-Mart clerk.
The numbers are even more striking in small liberal arts colleges. Grinnell, the richest of those that report data publicly, had an endowment of $1.2 million per student. Annual earnings of just 4 percent would produce more than $46,000 per student in yearly interest. Why does Grinnell charge tuition?
A case could be made that the biggest source of inequality in America is our system of collegiate gift-giving. If people made their donations to generic funds that provided student vouchers, rather than giving their gifts to specific colleges and universities, that would probably be much less of a rich-get-richer scheme.
Sep 15 2005 at 11:01pm
What's strange is that the *colleges* don't recognize this. Assume a school ranked 5-10 switches to "free tuition room and board if you're admitted." Who is choosing Harvard at 40k over Penn for Free, or Williams at 40k over Pomona for free? I think a school like Columbia or Pomona could easily vaunt to the very top of the American college list with such a plan, if they also endowed a few top chairs at the same time. The draw for internationals would be even stronger – right now, it's Tsinghua at 2k vs. Columbia at 40, but Tsinghua at 2 vs. free Columbia is a deal anyone will take.
This probably could go unsaid, but institutional development offices work long and hard cultivating relationships and trying to strengthen an institution's identity in the eyes of alumni, foundations, corporations and parents. The gross volume of giving would almost surely be lower under a generic scheme.
In regard to why Grinnell, Williams, etc. is not free, for many of these colleges (the data is somewhere on my machine), the actual costs of educating students far exceeds the per student endowment payout. So, even for students that are paying full tuition, the schools are subsidizing their educations by a fairly substantial amount. Princeton, who is the richest school by a long shot, has made moves to eliminate all student charges for certain subpopulations of students, which will force its competitors to follow suit. This all takes money and is yet another reason why we will continue to see endowments grow. Charging nothing for tuition would lead to lower future per student expenditures, and in the long run hurt a college's ranking, which among other things explicitly credits a school for spending more money.
Mike, I just don't think that's true. The largest endowments are on the order of 1m/student+. It's clear that the annual increase in endowment at many of these schools is well more than the total tuition payment.
Further, consider that no tuition = better quality students = higher earnings after graduation (presumably) = higher donations. There's some sort of feedback loop, isn't there?

It is good to see us economists finally talking about the cost of higher education. However, the issues are much more complicated than tuition and endowments. The important issues that need to be addressed include the huge wastes in university operating costs, the opportunity cost, not just money cost, of higher education, and the university as a sleep away camp between high school and employment.
Andrej Salner
Sep 16 2005 at 2:33pm
I thinks there are at least two parts to the answer to the question of why these well-endowed colleges still do charge tuition.
To me the most obvious is economic rationality: why give away places for free if you can fill them up with students of adequate quality who pay. The top universities probably do not have to significantly compromise quality of students with little "quality/ability to pay trade-off" at the peak of the qualified and wealthy population eager to attend these schools.
Secondly, the rate of tuition is most likely a somewhat arbitrary figure – I do not think it is necessarily directly tied to average per student costs. Again, it would be economically sound to charge not only in relation to average cost but in relation to marginal cost and also to demand. The average cost per student could therefore be significantly higher than even full tuition fee.
As far as the argument of competitive edge arising from charging no tuition, this must be weighed against the contribution to whatever the institution is maximising of a. more current spending, b. more investment spending, c. long-term security arising from growth of endowment.
Actually, the bulk of the people that pay full tutition at Harvard are foreign students.
So make your donations to Berea College that turned up in your data base the last time you
talked about this.
no tuition = better quality students = higher earnings after graduation (presumably) = higher donations
I almost don't want to post this because it's so cynical, but I think it's the truth ….
actual equation is
high tuition = wealthier families send students = higher earnings after graduation (presumably) = higher donations
Paul N
1) Donors to universities like to feel like the students are paying their share, too. Harvard would get far fewer donations if they made tuition free for undergraduates, though they could easily afford to do so, because donors would feel like a) students have it too easy – why should I give my money when they give nothing and b) maybe Harvard doesn't really need that much more money if it's already free for undergrads to go there.
2) Another reason to charge tuition is because it's felt that if students don't pay anything to go to their college, they won't try as hard, because they won't value the product they're getting.
3) People often forget that undergraduate education is, for well-endowed research universities like Harvard, Princeton, Caltech, MIT, a small fraction of overall revenues/costs. Yes the endowment may be $1M per student, but look at how many grad students, technicians, professors whose research must be funded for each undergraduate student. And if you choose to stop doing groundbreaking research, you'll quickly lose your status as a university.
4) There's no real mystery why the giving is so asymmetric; people generally give money to their alma mater, and the people that go to the best colleges typically end up the richest, whether you believe that's because they were smarter in the first place, or because the school really taught them better and the social networks you form at these schools pay off later in life. Also, I would guess that the returns in terms of research productivity, etc. are higher at better universities.
I can't believe we're debating a tongue-in-cheek post. The point isn't that schools should start pooling gifts, the point is that pooling gifts has costs (as has been pointed out) and is, despite certain attractions, a bad idea; AND, if faculty are so quick to recognize this, why don't faculty recognize the same effects in the rest of the world? Cognitive dissonance strikes again!
Wouldn't free tuition be the ultimate price control?
Why wouldn't free tuition lead to a higher student to teacher ratio effectively which would lessen the quality of education?

By law, if an Illinois nursing facility administers psychotropic medications to control a resident's behaviors, the nursing staff must provide ongoing evaluations and an effective plan of care to determine if the drug can be reduced or eliminated over time. Unfortunately, not all nursing facilities provide ongoing evaluations or develop effective interventions to redirect the resident's unacceptable behavior and eliminate the need for psychotropic drugs. Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have represented many patients residing in Illinois nursing facilities like Pinckneyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center who have been unnecessarily prescribed antipsychotic drugs to control their aggressive behaviors.
A list of filed complaints, safety concerns, health violations and opened investigations on nationwide nursing homes can be reviewed from federal and state database websites including Medicare.gov. Many families use this info to determine the best facility to place a loved one who requires the highest level of skilled health care and hygiene assistance.
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 02/17/2015, a state surveyor noted the facility's failure to "identify triggers for behaviors, identify specific behaviors and develop behavioral interventions for [two residents] reviewed for psychotropic medication." The deficient practice by the nursing staff involved an 88-year-old resident diagnosed with "dementia illness with associated behavioral symptoms" who receives psychotropic medications.
The investigator interviewed a Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) who provided care to the resident. The CNA stated that the resident "enjoys going to the big window in the dining room and watching the children across the street." The resident's 09/18/2014 Interdisciplinary Care Plan indicated that the resident "likes to fold laundry." However, the investigator noted that "this information is not included on either the Care Plan/Behavior Tracking Records [or] Interdisciplinary Care Plan.
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 01/29/2016, an Illinois state surveyor noted the facility's failure to "prevent access to potentially hazardous compounds." The failure by the nursing staff and employees at the facility affected three residents.
If you believe your loved one suffered harm while a patient at Pinckneyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, contact Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC now. Our skilled Pinckneyville attorneys can file and successfully resolve your victim case involving mistreatment or abuse and hold those who caused your loved one harm financially accountable.
We encourage you to contact our Perry County elder abuse law office today by calling (888) 424-5757 to schedule your appointment for a comprehensive claim review. No upfront fees are required because we accept every wrongful death lawsuit, personal injury case and nursing home abuse and neglect claim for compensation on contingency. This means our legal fees are paid only after we have won your case at trial or negotiated an out of court settlement on your family's behalf.

The persistence of the crushing examination system is due to India's hierarchical social system — a point that is grossly underexamined
Once again, it is that time of the year when the examination results season may be just ending and the admissions season is in progress, and marked by a cacophony of two contradictory voices — often from the same people — that rose to deafening levels from April to May when the results of various school boards were declared. The first voice celebrated those who succeeded and did wondrously well. Newspaper articles were published on which sections of students did better than the other. Did girls do better than the boys? Did school system 'X' do better than school system 'Y'? Pictures of individual students who topped the examinations were published and their parents, teachers and schools eulogised. Once the general 'results fever' subsided, this shrill voice was echoed by private schools which claimed to have taught some of the toppers, with their posters appearing in every possible place, from roadside electric poles to walls.
In general, this celebration of success in an examination goes on for the whole year, till the next results season when the old faces are replaced with new ones to valorise.
Pressure of expectations
More importantly, the second voice is one of lamentation as many students, wilting under stress and pressure, burn out and even commit suicide in this season, simply because they could not fulfil their parents' expectations.
The loss of these young, and often bright, people must make us ponder. They have moved up all the way from nursery class to high school to fulfil their parents' ambitions of seeing them grow into engineers, doctors or managers graduating from the so-called top-level institutions in the country. These children must have seen themselves only as exam-cracking "achievers" in order to make their parents happy. They lost out on their childhood play and free time; no pranks with their friends and no experience of the simple joy of just being a carefree child. This loss would have led to a narrow vision of human life guided by the all-important value of "success"; which is just defined as getting a top job. Period. These children, deprived of social development and trapped in an artificially developed world, choose death over struggle when that world suffers a rude shock with exam results that are less than expected.
There is very little recognition that the first voice I talked about creates a powerful environment wherein the trait of parents imposing their ambitions on the children becomes dominant. When they do not turn out to be as successful as their parents want them to, they fade away. This problem has two sides to it: the first is the examination-oriented Indian education system, and the second is competitive and cruel parents.
The 'crushing weight of exams'
About 80 years ago, the Zakir Hussain report on National Basic Education noted that the "system of examinations prevailing in our country has proved a curse to education". It pinpointed the malady by saying that a bad system is made worse by awarding examinations a place much beyond their utility. The problem, however, is much older than stated in the Zakir Hussain report.
For this, one has to go back as early as 1904 to the Indian Educational Policy issued by the then Governor General. This colonial document had a section titled "The abuse of examinations" and noted that "[e]xaminations, as now understood, are believed to have been unknown as an instrument of general education in ancient India". It also claimed that examinations did not have a prominent place even in the Despatch of 1854, commonly known as Wood's Despatch. The Hunter Commission report of 1882-83, which left examinations and promotions to the next class up to standard eight entirely to the schools, did not recommend any province-level or board exemptions. Still, the educational policy of 1904 noted that examinations had "grown to extravagant dimensions, and their influence has been allowed to dominate the whole system of education in India, with the result that instruction is confined within the rigid framework of prescribed courses, that all forms of training which do not admit of being tested by written examinations are liable to be neglected". It further noted that the system was adopted on the precedence of English education which itself has "finally condemned" it; however, in India, it was proving to be "disastrous in its influence" on education. The policy recommended reforms that included abandoning public examination at the primary level, "more equitable tests of efficiency", and "to relieve the schools and scholars from the heavy burden of recurring mechanical tests".
The Indian Educational Policy of 1913 declared victory and stated that "the formerly crushing weight of examinations has been appreciably lightened". It further declared that the "principal objects of the school final examination are adaptability to the course of study and avoidance of cram".
All this shows that the devastating effects of this "curse to education" have been known quite well for over 100 years. There is no commission or committee report after Independence which does not acknowledge the burden of rote learning and the examination system on its students and its futility in assessing their real abilities. They all recommend examination reforms. The recent attempts, after Right to Education (RTE) stipulation, of no pass-fail and no board examinations till completion of elementary education in favour of a continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) are well known.
However, the public education system has completely failed to implement these reforms and the private schools have never paid much attention to them. We have now reached a stage where no one in the country knows how the CCE can be implemented, and how we can measure progress of the child without pass-fail systems. Therefore, there has been a concerted effort to discard this half-hearted foraging into unknown territory as soon as the present government came to power at the Centre. The result is that many States have gone back to their familiar pass-fail system and board examinations at the end of eighth standard if not earlier.
Nexus of forces
The question that stares us in the face is, how is it that we haven't cleansed our education system of a curse that has been well known for over a hundred years? There is never a single factor behind the persistence of such problems; it always has to be a nexus of forces. Some of the factors that lie within the education system are often mentioned. The lack of seriousness, of resources, teachers untrained in new methods, etc. form the routine list. One reason rarely mentioned is the inconsistency between the prevailing grade-wise curriculum and school structure on the one hand and the idea of progress on the learning continuum inherent in the CCE on the other. The CCE does not suit our authoritarian school organisation, administration and syllabus organisation.
But it seems that the biggest force behind the persistence of this curse and useless examination system is a social one which is grossly under-examined. We are a caste-based and strictly hierarchical society. In earlier times, this hierarchy had the iron-clad stability of the caste system. That determined the place, function, work and life of an Indian even before his/her birth. There are attempts now, which range from constitutional rights to political struggle, to break that mould. It may not have been dismantled yet, but is under tremendous pressure ever since the freedom movement began.
But social hierarchies involve privileges, prestige and goods of life that are cherished by all. None is ready to let go of the privileges one has. As a result, the attempts to maintain the old hierarchy as well as the ways to challenge it look toward education. Education, therefore, becomes a means of fierce competition either to remain in one's position of privilege or to rise in the hierarchy. It completely stops being a self-motivated way of forming an authentic self and gaining an understanding of the world, and is reduced to a means to beat/best the neighbour. A more open and thoughtful system of education will challenge the hierarchies which are so dear to a caste-minded Indian. The result is that the authoritarian system of pass-fail stays.
The stand of intellectuals
One wonders why the intellectuals in Indian society, and who understand the ills of this education system and the implied curse of examinations, don't make a beginning to dismantle it. The answer perhaps lies in the often noticed phenomenon of the very people who write scathing papers and offer opinion on the ills of the current examination system, hold seminars and give keynote addresses on it in conferences, taking leave and cancelling all their engagements to be at hand when their own children are to appear in the standard 10 and 12 board examinations. Interpreting this contradiction as a simple lack of commitment to ideals is a superficial understanding even if it has an element of truth. The malady is deeper. In spite of being convinced of the "truth" of their analysis of the education system and the ills of examinations, they see the possibility of privileges their children will get through success in these very examinations; and the dangers of losing the positions achieved by themselves.
To face this situation one requires courage of conviction which scholar Alberuni noted a thousand years ago, albeit in the context of religion, that Indians don't have. In the context of theology Alberuni notes: "at the utmost, they [Indians ] fight with words, but they will never stake their soul or body or their property in religious controversies". Not putting at stake their soul, body and property in religious disputes may be considered a welcome openness; but it seems this tendency is applicable to all ideas that might bring change. Indians don't stake their property and position on ideas that may collide with the existing system. Unfortunately, no change in the system is possible without there being a critical number of people in society who are ready to pay the price to make a beginning. We don't seem to have that critical number yet. And till we reach that number, our children will continue to commit suicide and their parents will continue to disown the responsibility to push them to do it. And we will all continue to blame the rigid system without noticing that its roots are in our own souls.

A Textbook Case of i) How to Sell Public Assets without Passing on Incompatible State Aid to the Buyer, and ii) How to Work together with the Commission
19. August 2014 | State Aid Uncovered by Phedon Nicolaides
An undertaking that has received incompatible State aid must pay it back or, if it cannot, it must be liquidated. Before a recipient of possibly incompatible State aid is liquidated, its assets can be sold off to the highest bidder. The buyer of previously subsidised assets does not benefit from State aid if i) it pays a market price and ii) there is no economic continuity between the new owner and the undertaking that received the aid.
The case which is reviewed in this article [SA.37954, sale of assets of Larco General Mining & Metallurgical Company] is instructive for two reasons.[1] First, it shows how to carry out a sale of public assets so that the sale does not include State aid either to the undertaking or to the new owner. Second, it demonstrates how Member States can work closely with the Commission to achieve their objectives [in this case, the orderly sale of a state-owned company], even in a situation where the Commission is likely to conclude that the undertaking in question has received incompatible State aid!Background
Greece notified, for legal certainty, its plans to sell certain assets of Larco General Mining & Metallurgical Company S.A. [Larco]. Larco is specialised in the extraction and processing of minerals such as lignite and iron. Larco is one of the largest ferronickel producers in the world. On December 2013 it had 912 employees and therefore qualified as a large enterprise. At the time of the notification, 55.2% of Larco's shares were owned by the Greek
state through the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund [HRADF], 33.4% by the National Bank of Greece [NBG, a private bank] and 11.4% by Public Power Corporation [PPC, the incumbent electricity producer which is also under state control through a majority shareholding].
In the context of its economic adjustment programme, Greece undertook an extensive privatisation programme. Larco was also included in that programme.
In March 2013, the Commission initiated the formal investigation procedure in relation to six State aid measures in favour of Larco. The measures appeared to constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU. The Commission expressed doubts as regards the legality of the aid, as well as the compatibility with the internal market because Larco appeared to be a company in difficulty. At the time of writing, the formal investigation procedure was not yet concluded.
The object of the decision which is examined here was the assessment of the notification concerning the sale of certain assets of Larco and placement of the remaining company in bankruptcy.
In view of a potential conclusion of the formal investigation procedure by a negative Commission decision requesting the recovery of incompatible aid, the Greek authorities requested the Commission to confirm that a recovery obligation imposed on Larco would not concern the buyer(s) of certain assets, sold through the notified sales structure.
According to the notification, the Greek state, as the main shareholder of the company, decided the following sales structure:
Tender A
It covered the Larymna smelter and the Agios Ioannis mining area. They constituted Larco's main operating facility. Greece would initiate an open, transparent, non-discriminatory and non-conditional tender process for the sale to the highest bidder. Greece undertook to prevent other shareholders of Larco or their affiliates from participating in tender A, in order to ensure that these entities would not use the sales process as a means to continue Larco's economic activity, while avoiding liabilities related to Larco.
Tender B
It covered the Agios Ioannis remaining mining rights, the Evia mining rights, the Kastoria mining rights and the Servia mining rights. The sales structure was the same as tender A [sale to highest bidder, exclusion of existing shareholders].
The two tenders were not conditional upon each other. No bidder in one tender would be obliged to participate in the other tender. If one of the tenders was unsuccessful, the other tender would proceed normally to conclusion.
However, a "shoot-out clause" was included in each of the two tenders. According to this clause, if the preferred bidder in tender A was not the same as the preferred bidder in tender B, then the preferred bidder of each of the tenders would have the right, but not the obligation, to outbid the preferred bidder in the other tender, until the highest consideration in each of the tenders was offered.
In total, 33% of Larco's assets net book value were covered by tenders A and B, representing approximately 60% of the company's total ore extraction capacity.
The two tenders did not include any obligation on the buyer(s) to take over any of the employees of Larco. Any transfer of employees or employment contracts associated with the tendered assets would only be governed by the applicable provisions of EU and Greek law.
After the conclusion of the two tenders and irrespective of their outcome, Larco was to be placed in bankruptcy, according to the relevant national legislation. Its remaining assets would be disposed of as part of the liquidation process by an administrator. The proceeds were to be used to cover any outstanding liabilities of Larco, including the recovery of any potentially incompatible State aid, following a relevant Commission decision.
Greek commitments
To avoid State aid to Larco or the buyer(s), the Greek authorities undertook the following commitments: i) The two tenders would be open, transparent, non-discriminatory and non-conditional, ii) the assets would be sold to the highest bidder.
To avoid economic continuity [i.e. no economic links] and, therefore, State aid to the successor of Larco and/or the shareholders of Larco, the Greek authorities committed themselves to exclude from the bidding process the owners/shareholders of Larco or any entity linked to them.
In this way, any potential incompatible State aid to Larco would have to be recovered by that company, following a relevant Commission decision, and would not concern any buyer(s) of the assets under sale.
Commission assessment
With respect to potential aid to Larco's buyers, the Commission explained in paragraphs 42-43 of the decision that "in order to decide on whether there is State aid benefiting Larco or the buyer(s) of the assets, the Commission needs to confirm that the sale of any assets will take place at their market price."
The Commission concluded that the sales structure would not result in State aid to Larco or its buyer(s) because the sale of assets would be effected through open, transparent, non-discriminatory and non-conditional tender processes to the highest bidders. [paragraphs 43-44]
With respect to potential aid to any successor of Larco after its privatisation, the Commission restated the principle that "the recovery obligation may be extended to a new company, to which the company in question has transferred or sold part of its assets, where that transfer or sale structure will trigger the conclusion that there is economic continuity between the two companies"[2] [paragraph 45].
More importantly, the Commission explained that, because the procedural Regulation 659/1999 does not provide for a declaration by the Commission on issues of economic continuity, "(47) thus, the present decision is a sui generis decision, in the context of the competences attributed to the Commission for State aid control, according to Article 108 TFEU, which is also the legal basis for the recovery of incompatible aid, in case of violation of Article 108(3) TFEU, as well as according to the principle of sincere cooperation, enshrined in Article 4(3) of the Treaty on the European Union."
According to the case law [see cases C-328/99 and C-399/00, Italy and SIM 2 v Commission and the more recent case T-123/09, Ryanair v Commission] and Commission practice [see decisions concerning Olympic Airlines, Alitalia and SERNAM],[3] the assessment of economic continuity between the "old" entity and the new structures is based on a set of indicators. The following factors may be taken into consideration: the scope of the sold assets (assets and liabilities, maintenance of workforce, bundle of assets), the sale price, the identity of the buyers, the moment of the sale (after the initiation of preliminary assessment, the formal investigation procedure or the final decision) and the economic logic of the operation.
The Commission considered that the assets to be sold that were relevant for the assessment of economic continuity were the combined assets of Tenders A and B. This was because the "shoot-out" clause created the possibility that the same buyer could succeed in both tenders.
In order to avoid economic continuity, the assets to be sold under tenders A and B would have to represent only a part of the previous company or its activities. This was acknowledged by the Commission because they represented only a part of the assets and the activity of Larco [33% of Larco's assets net book value and about 60% of the company's total ore extraction capacity]. With respect to the employees, the tenders would not include any specific obligation to transfer employment contracts or employees to the new owner(s).
In order to avoid economic continuity, the assets under tenders A and B would have to be sold at their market price. The competitive process ensured that the bidding would reflect market prices.
With respect to the identity of buyers, the Commission accepted that the new owner(s) of the assets would not have any economic link with Larco. This ensured that they would not be liable for any recovery of incompatible State aid.
The moment of the sale must not be such as to result in a circumvention of a decision by the Commission to recover incompatible State aid. The Commission observed that Larco had already been earmarked as a state-owned company for privatisation, in the context of the Greek economic adjustment programme. In addition, the Commission considered positively that the rest of Larco would be placed in bankruptcy, where its remaining assets and activities would be disposed of, in order to service outstanding liabilities, including a potential recovery order for incompatible State aid.
In relation to the economic logic of the operation, the decisive issue was "whether the buyer(s) of the assets will employ them in the same way as the previous owner or whether it will use them to establish a different activity or strategy" [paragraph 65].
"(66) The Commission agrees with the Greek authorities that the assets sold under Tenders A and B indeed seem to have a specific usage, serving in the activities of the extraction of laterite ore and the process and production of ferronickel, currently performed by Larco. … (67) In addition, the Commission considers that the new owner(s) who will not be obliged to take over any employees or employment contracts from Larco, will have the possibility to manage their activities under different operating conditions than Larco's and will apply their own business model. (68) Thus, the Commission concludes that the economic logic of the operation is to allow new owner(s) to use certain assets of Larco under different conditions and not to continue the strategy of Larco."
This conclusion, however, is doubtful. It is impossible to predict what the new owners would choose to do. At most what can be said is that the new owners would not be obliged to follow Larco's strategy. The fact that they would not buy the whole company could be an indicator that they would not have all the means at their disposal to duplicate Larco's strategy even if they wanted to do that.
But what this decision does not explain is why non-continuation of Larco's strategy is relevant, given that the new owners pay a market price. The new owner obtains no advantage. The company that received the State aid is broken up and, at any rate, it is not the same company because it is now fused in a different corporate structure. It is true that sometimes subsidised companies change names or subsidised assets are transferred from one legal person to another in order to avoid repayment of subsidies. In such attempts to circumvent repayment, someone derives an advantage from the subsidies. But when the new owner pays a market price, it is difficult to understand what kind of advantage it derives even if it continues the market strategy of the company it acquires.

Simultaneity of Investments by Public and Private Investors is a Necessary but not Sufficient Condition for Public Investments to be Free of State Aid
If a public authority guarantees a loan to a company that is in financial difficulty and charges a low premium, the whole loan, not just the difference between the market rate of premium and the rate actually charged, will be considered to be State aid. Simultaneous capital injection by public and private investors is not enough to eliminate State aid […]
Sale of Public Assets, SGEI and Electricity Levies

Why Can the Commission Not be Consistent in its Analysis of Economic Activity and Affectation of Trade?
Introduction If you ask a national official who deals with State aid to identify the most challenging aspects of working with State aid rules, the answer is likely to be "the concept of undertaking" and the "effect on trade". Other aspects can also be challenging, but a national official is unlikely to agonise about the transfer of state resources, the […]

Vast evidence is available on the association of prolonged toxic stress exposure in early childhood and adverse outcomes spanning well into adulthood. The environment in which these children are being placed, concrete floors, bare mattresses, insufficient food and water supplies, constant exposure to cold and harsh lighting is the definition of prolonged exposure to toxic stress and the damage being done to these children goes far beyond the immediate scenes which have played out on television and computer screens across the globe.
As representatives of the Osteopathic pediatric community we must raise our voices to demand an end to these practices which go against all we stand for in the promotion of health and well-being in ALL children, regardless of race, nationality, or immigrant status. We call upon our members of Congress to speak up and put an end to this policy and to reject further implementation of the Border security and Immigration Reform Act.

UK-based Kite Packaging is said to be unveiling a live online tool, which attempts to help companies with a turnover of more than £2mn, to be compliant with the Packaging Waste Regulations.
Kite provides an online compliance calculator, which enables customers with quick access to a live packaging waste report, through their onsite account section, said the company.
Kite Packaging spokesperson was quoted by midlandsbusinessnews.co.uk as saying that the new on site tool would be a nice value add for businesses who were hitherto struggling to comply with this difficult legislation.
"Here at Kite our online teams are constantly on the lookout for new and exciting ways to improve the website and make the process of buying from us even easier, this new tool is all part of that," spokesperson said.

Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated children's television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows Dexter, a boy-genius with a secret laboratory filled with his collection of inventions. He constantly battles his sister Dee Dee, who always gains access despite his best efforts to keep her out, as well as his arch-rival and neighbor, Mandark. The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment. Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase World Premiere Toons, basing it on student films he produced while attending the California Institute of the Arts. Four shorts were created and broadcast on Cartoon Network in 1995 and 1996 before viewer approval ratings convinced the network to order a 13-episode first season, which premiered on April 28, 1996. By 1999, 52 episodes and a television movie had been produced, and Tartakovsky then left the series to begin work on his other projects, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. In 2001, the network revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios, and after 26 more episodes, the series ended on November 20, 2003.

Q: How to NOT include Visual Studio Project folder names in generated namespaces How do I prevent the name of the Solution Folder in a VS project from being appended to the namespace generated for new items added to the solution folder?
Example: C# project in a VS solution
Default Namespace set in C# project properties: "BigClient.Domain"
If you create a solution folder in this project called "MySpecialStuff" and then add a new class to the 'MySpecialStuff" solution folder, VS creates the new .cs file with a "BigClient.Domain.MySpecialStuff" namespace.  I want to find a way to allow the namespace of the newly-added class to retain just the 'project-level' namespace of "BigClient.Domain" instead of VS appending the "MySpecialStuff" solution-folder-name to the namespace.
I seem to recall reading a blog post by someone that this was possible (either via options/settings in VS or a registry setting) but I cannot recall where or how now that I want it :)
My platform is VS 2008 if answer = different for different VS versions.

A: If you have ReSharper installed, on the settings for the directory (F4), set Namespace Provider to false.

A: Make a new class template or change Visual Studio's class template. See the MSDN documentation for how to this. In the template file, you quickly see the line that inserts the 'safe' namespace name.
